Ente Strings

A Flutter package containing shared localization strings for Ente apps.

Purpose

This package provides common localization strings that are shared across multiple Ente applications (Auth, Photos, etc.). It centralizes the translations for common UI elements, error messages, and other shared text to ensure consistency across the apps.

Usage

1. Add to pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  ente_strings:
    path: ../packages/strings

2. Configure in your app

Add the strings localizations delegate to your app:

import 'package:ente_strings/ente_strings.dart';

MaterialApp(
  localizationsDelegates: [
    ...StringsLocalizations.localizationsDelegates,
    // Your other delegates...
  ],
  supportedLocales: StringsLocalizations.supportedLocales,
  // ...
)

3. Use in your widgets

Use the convenient extension to access strings:

import 'package:ente_strings/ente_strings.dart';

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Text(context.strings.networkHostLookUpErr);
}

Or use the traditional approach:

import 'package:ente_strings/ente_strings.dart';

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Text(StringsLocalizations.of(context).networkHostLookUpErr);
}

Available Strings

Currently available strings:

• networkHostLookUpErr: Error message for network host lookup failures

Adding New Strings

1. Add the string to lib/l10n/arb/strings_en.arb (template file)
2. Add translations to all other strings_*.arb files
3. Run flutter gen-l10n to regenerate the localization files
4. Move generated files from lib/l10n/arb/ to lib/l10n/ if needed
